Protect Gay & Lesbian Custody Rights in Divorce
What's needed for lesbian social mothers is the same thing that noncustodial parents have long fought for--a rebuttable presumption of shared custody after a divorce or separation.
Hillary Clinton and Madonna: Both Unbowed and Uncowed — They're Virtually the Same, and They Will Rule!
The two blondes refuse to be pushed offstage just because you may have had enough. Here's why they'll prevail!
Ellen Degeneres Is Married. And I Don't Care.
I'm very happy for her. Thrilled for her, in fact. But, mostly, I don't care. It doesn't change my life one bit. Not at all. And that's exactly how it should be.
Finding the Toilet in Stockholm
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
Ellen DeGeneres Decries Murder of Gay 15-year-old (But Why is That "Not Political"?)
Hearing Ellen qualify her outrage at a gay child's murder by saying "This is not political" seemed to map to her discomfort in addressing serious and, yes, political LGBT issues on air.
O'Reilly Compares The Left To Tim McVeigh
Earliest known picture of Bill O'Reilly Stop me if you've heard this before. On the June 9th Radio Factor, Bill O'Reilly called the Far Left the gre...
Ellen DeGeneres' Misuse of the Media and a Challenge to Right that Wrong
Ellen should convene a panel of rescue professionals on her own show as quickly as possible to discuss what these organizations do and how they do it.
The Year in Women: The Good, Bad, and Iffy
2008 was the year that women took it on the chin. Even human punchline Paris Hilton had a laugh at the expense of John McCain, who'd famously likened Obama's celebrity to hers.
Why I Hate Animal Lovers
Animal lovers -- the "when I die I'll bury you right next to me, Mr. Sunggle-Wuggles, yes I wiiill!" hard-core ones -- have always had a misguided sense of proportion.
Why Clay Aiken's Coming Out Matters
Aiken's outing is different in two notable, intrinsically entwined ways.
ENDA Don't MENDA
Ellen's reasoned plea for everyone to sit and stay, could be a blueprint for warring factions everywhere. I hope Condi has TiVo.
My Ellen Visit, Deferred
When Ellen asked me to do her show I was absolutely thrilled. I love her show! But with the writers on strike, I am unable to do it. This was a very difficult decision to make.
McCain On Gay Rights: No Marriage, No Adoptions, No HIV/AIDS Prevention Plan
There's still a lot of work to be done in the fight for equality, and the above presidential visions present very different realities about whether that work will lead to progress or a rollback of even more rights.
The Other Side of the Ellen Story [Updated]
I spoke to Marina Baktis of Mutts & Moms at length last Friday, and I think it's important that some of the facts be clarified.
Fox Censors Sally Field's Anti-War-Moms Speech, and Other Emmy Musings

Ah, it must be nice. I however, I don't have that kind of luxury. I don't have money laying around when it comes time to pay for my quarterly health insurance. We never made more than $45,000.00 a year. Sometimes the credit card is very valuable to people in our tax bracket. Sometimes it is easy to put others down when you are sitting on top because you got there not by your brain but by your looks like a lot of those gals that work for CNBC and other money shows.
I agree with her, when I retired I chucked all my credit cards and now pay for whatever I may need and that icluded a car, not new but a good one anyhow. Of course I moved to Europe and now have universal health care so I can afford to do that.
Puleeze, her husband is loaded. She's rich and probably uses his cards. It's intellectually dishonest to try to pass yourself off as a frugal, penny-pinching working stiff.
My thoughts exactly. Even if her husband wasn't loaded, she makes a sizable enough salary to not have to pinch pennies or forgo any luxury her little heart may desire.
Debit cards have less consumer fraud protection.

"Under federal law, your liability for fraudulent charges on a debit card can be greater than it is for a credit card. With a credit card, you're only responsible for up to $50 in unauthorized purchases. But with a debit card, you can lose up to $500 if you don't report the theft or loss of your card or PIN within two business days of discovering the problem. And if you fail to report the unauthorized charges within 60 days of the date of the statement that lists them, you could be held liable for any unauthorized withdrawals after that date. Those include the full value of credit lines and funds in savings linked to your checking account for overdraft protection............
the headaches of setting the record straight are much greater with fraud on a debit card, says Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at the U.S. Public Interest Research Group. "Unlike a credit card, payment for a fraudulent transaction has already come out of your bank account, so you're fighting over your money, not theirs, and you could be bouncing other checks while you're waiting for it to be resolved,"
Financial journalists are so out of touch, I might as well stick to reading Dean Baker.

Excellent. I'm no millionaire, but I feel exactly the same way and only use debit cards.
I've always felt there was something wrong with being compelled to sign on to a company's product, and that's all credit cards are -- a product. In my twenties, I didn't know of any of my friends who were less than $10k in debt to their credit cards.
Bah-humbug to credit cards!
